"Sex and The City" was like the spinoff of......


Watched this movie on an very old VHS..which Iam updating!....and it really has the feel of the SATC series. (Not that I'm a fan at all, trust me.)
Something tells me this movie was maybe the inspiration for that show....??

Hmm. Maybe a little. Mr. Big is a bit like a more tame version of John in this film. And the feel of New York is not dissimilar - despite this movie taking place about a decade earlier.

I can't see the similarity. Nine 1/2 Weeks feels almost like an art film, with minimalist dialogue and heavy symbolism. SATC was talky, garish and intentionally over the top. Tonally they are very different.
